International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA) releases low cost Compliance Verification Tool (CVT) with increased testing capabilities for its powerful G2S® standard
The IGSA has released a significant update to its Compliance Verification Tool (CVT). This CVT tool allows the ability to test for the majority of Game-to-System G2S® classes deployed throughout the global marketplace. The tool provides implementers a means to quickly verify their gaming products to meet the IGSA standard for G2S implementation.
IGSA has created two new cost-effective licenses to the CVT. The CVT BASIC license, in addition to a basic G2S reference implementation, now also includes test scripts for 14 classes – the initial six core classes: communications, eventHandler, meters, cabinet, gamePlay, and handpay as well as new additional classes: bonus, commandHandler, download, GAT, noteAcceptor, optionConfig, progressive, and WAT. The CVT SUITE license includes the CVT BASIC as well as the G2S Scope (RGS) and Protocol Analyzer (RPA) tools. Both licenses are available from Radical Blue Gaming (RadBlue.com/product/cvt).
This CVT tool will be used by IGSA as the “gold standard” for testing and certification of G2S implementations. See IGSA.org home page for details on G2S implementation support.
“The G2S communications protocol is a critical standard for our industry as it supports functionality that allows operators to perform manual electronic gaming machine tasks in an automated hands-free way. It also allows regulators to verify electronic gaming machine software remotely. Creating these new license options, including a basic reference implementation, should help in the wider global adoption of this important standard. Considering the challenging environment that the gaming industry finds itself in today, we think this automation will benefit the industry greatly,” said Peter DeRaedt, President of IGSA.
IGSA released the first version of CVT in 2015. Since then, the CVT has helped regulators, operators, and suppliers worldwide to ensure interoperability. It also has served to provide a new and cost-effective way for vendors to quickly get their products to market.
Earlier this year, GSA announced the organization’s name change to International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA) to better reflect the organization’s membership, reach, and scope. There is an IGSA level of membership to fit every budget. For more information, visit IGSA at IGSA.org.

Delasport Now GLI-Certified for Sports Betting in Brazil
Delasport has just become one of the first suppliers to obtain a GLI certification for its sportsbook in Brazil, two weeks before the historical regulation comes into effect.
Continuing its global growth, Delasport is bringing several operators on board in Brazil. In order to complete the process, operators that are applying for a new Brazilian license have 30 days to provide all relevant platform certificates from the moment that they are notified by the regulator that their initial submission has been accepted. This is also the moment that they can pay the license fee. Still, failure to provide platform certificates will result in the application being placed on hold.
Delasport turned to Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) for the certification of its sportsbook against Brazilian technical standards. The historical partnership with GLI was further strengthened by the news, a few months back, that GLI had become the first laboratory to achieve the local accreditation to certify for betting systems, live game studios, and online games by the Secretaria De Prêmios e Apostas (SPA) in Brazil.
Delasport has successfully met all technical requirements for providing its sports betting solution to the largest country in South America. The certificate is evidence of the team’s experience, expertise, and determination to lead the way in key jurisdictions.
Obtaining a GLI certification for Brazil is a step towards cementing the trust players and operators have for Delasport’s products. This serves to show that the award-winning supplier is capable of meeting even the strictest industry standards for integrity and fairness.
“When we learnt that providing platform certificates to the regulator was on our partner operators’ critical path for obtaining the license, we immediately prioritized submitting the system to GLI for testing”, Delasport’s Chief Compliance Officer Filippo Ferri said. “Needless to say, GLI did a tremendous job of working with us to conduct the tests in record time, to match the submission deadline of some of our clients. I am also very proud of how our internal departments worked together to obtain this certificate, and of how they continue to push forward with the delivery of a datavault system that complies with SIGAP requirements.”
Operators that plan on entering the newly regulated Brazilian market will now have numerous advantages if they partner with Delasport. They will be able to provide their players with personalization features like My Sportsbook, My Event Builder, and My Combo that skyrocket revenues and retention.
Furthermore, Delasport’s KYC and AML provider is a market leader that guarantees the highest level of compliance for all operators that choose to go on this route.
Also, Delasport has already partnered with numerous local payment system providers and offers a real-time AI-powered Responsible Gambling system which can easily adapt to local regulations.
Last, but not least, operators will feel Delasport’s support from the get-go all the way to establishing themselves as a market leader. Delasport is knowledgeable of cultural and regional differences and can address all localization needs from the early stages of engagement.
